Fresh Baked for October 19, 2012

Wow. The wind is blowing up something fierce. What leaves we had on the trees are gone. Thankfully, I was able to get some pictures of fall while I was on a field trip this week. Were you able to get any pictures of fall?

My favorite thing about fall is going to a pumpkin patch. One of our local patches has a whole little festival, if you want to call it that, that they put on. There’s a corn maze, a huge rocking chair, and even pig chasing. It’s interesting, but the pumpkins are expensive. I keep forgetting how expensive pumpkins are until it’s time to buy them again. Anyone else have that sort of memory fail?

Speaking of fall and pumpkins, don’t forget about October’s buffet created by the Gingerscraps designers? Fall Festival would work great for a visit to the pumpkin patch, or anything pumpkin or fall related. Here are a few layouts that I found in the Buffet gallery that I just had to show off.

Created by Tree City. She’s making me want some donuts. That looks SO good!

Created by Lisa. This calendar is awesome. If you’re curious, the dates are like that for her P365 project! How creative is that?

Created by jbdolfin. The cluster work is amazing. So many layers, and so beautifully done.

Before I start with the beautiful kits and products that the designers have created for you, I just have to share this awesome news with you, a new Welcome Wagon kit has been released! If you do not know about our Welcome Wagon area, you should go check it out right away! Once you register in the forum, you will have access to the Welcome Wagon area. The designers create wonderful goodies and give them to you for FREE! The Welcome Wagon has been up and running, for over a year, so our designers are changing their goodies! New goodies, Free goodies! Keep checking the Welcome Wagon area, we will be reveling something new every few weeks!

Amy, of Unforgettable Moments, has created a beautiful kit for all members! All you have to do to get it is register in the forum and check out the Welcome Wagon sub-forum!!

Don’t forget that when you spend $10 in the store, you get it this beauty, for free.

Fresh Baked: New Designers

October 17, 2012 by Sarah

Oh my goodness! I’m going to attempt to not be heavy-handed with the exclamation points, but I’m not sure how successful I’m going to be. It’s going to be a hard job, that’s for sure.

Why am I so excited? I’m so glad you asked. Today, we have three, yes THREE, amazing designers joining the team here at Gingerscraps. I’m so happy I could squeal. These three ladies are amazing designers, and I’ve admired their work for so long. I feel so lucky that I get to announce who they are!

So, help me welcome Moni, of 2am Designs, Angela, of Angelclaud ArtRoom, and Marleen, of Kokon Scrap-Art.

Hi there! I’m Monica (Moni), the designer behind 2 am Designs.
I’m from Argentina and I currently live in Buenos Aires with my husband and 2 kids, a boy and a girl.
I stumbled upon digital scrapbooking while surfing the web for card making ideas.
I began scrapping and designing about 3 years ago when I made my first page for a color challenge, then my first paper pack and I haven’t stopped ever since!

Moni is so sweet! She even has a sale going on to celebrate!

https://store.gingerscraps.net/Quirky-like-me-by-2-am-Designs.html

https://store.gingerscraps.net/-Playing-with-Cars-elements-by2amdesigns.html

https://store.gingerscraps.net/Painted-Over-by2amdesigns.html

Those road papers? That is definitely something I think I can work with. It would play awesome with the Away We Go buffet, don’t you think?

My name is Angela and I’m from Jakarta, Indonesia. I started digital scrapbooking around 1.5 years ago after I became a mother to a sweet little girl. Being a first time mother, I took hundreds of photos of my her and needed a better way to journal and record her development. After some searching in Google, by chance, I discovered Digital Scrapbooking. With some prior knowledge of Photoshop and all the abudance information and help in the scrapbooking community I become a digital scrapbooker.
I’ve developed my scrapbooking style after a while and realized that I just love layering and clustering. My pages don’t feel complete without them. As I scrapbook to preserve memories, it’s also important to me that the pages tell the story I want to convey. Of course, there are also times when I just want to try out a new techniques or two.
I scrap almost every day, whether it’s creating layouts or templates. When I’m not scrapping or taking care of my daughter I love to read, listen to music, and watch movies.

Oh I loved reading about how and why she found digital scrapping. We’re so glad to have her here! You lucky ducks get a sale too! Wow. More sales! Thank you, Angela!

https://store.gingerscraps.net/Cluster-Crazy.html

https://store.gingerscraps.net/I-Heart-You.html

Excuse me. Now I will have to squeal. Templates. Lots of templates. I just adore templates.

My name is Marleen, my designername Kokon Scrap-Art, I live with my husband and children in the Netherlands.
In late 2007 I discovered digital scrappen and I found it right away great, within the shortest times I was hooked.
I could lose so much creativity in scrapping and after a while I became CT member by a designer, later on I was in more CT teams. To try out I made a kit, people liked it and in this way I became designer. I love to design but I also love scrapping, my style is white space. My kits you can use for normal scrapping but also for white space that I always keep in mind.
I´m so very glad that I got the chance to design for Ginger, already I love it here! I hope you like my stuff and I’m very curious to know more people at Ginger, I do my best!
I’m choclat and ice cream addicted, I love also a good book but most of the time I’m creative. Two time’s a week I go paint in a studio, that’s fantastic.

Her style is white-space and she like chocolate? And she paints. I have to say I like her already! And if you like sales, you’ll like this:

I can’t even choose a favorite. They’re all just lovely!

Oh my goodness! Okay, I failed miserably at the amount of exclamation points, but I could not help it at all. I’m so excited to see these designers around the forums, and I can’t wait to share more of their designs with you as the newsletters come forth.

I can say for sure that it’s officially fall in the Midwest. Oh, you want to know how I know? The weather is the biggest clue. We go from forties for highs to seventies. In less than twenty-four hours. The lows are sometimes barely above freezing, but they’re calling for eighties. Oh fall, how I enjoy your insanity.

It’s supposedly good for the coloring of the leaves though. Or so I’ve heard. I just know that the next couple weeks are the perfect time to head out to a pumpkin patch. Maybe explore a corn maze. Last time we went to one, we all got lost. It took us almost an hour to find our way out. They claimed it would take fifteen minutes. I guess we aren’t good at directions, LOL!

This week, there are a lot of awesome things happening. We have a new designer. Well, it’s a two designers, one name type of deal. I’ll leave you in suspense until we’re ready for that announcement. The designers have some great stuff. There’s definitely something for everyone.

But, before we get into that, we’ve chosen some gorgeous layouts using our current buffet, Fall Festival. The layouts are absolute amazing. Remember, if you want a chance of your layout being chosen for the newsletter, make sure you upload it to the gallery. If it’s not there, we won’t see it.

Created by Deanna. I can’t get enough over big picture layouts, and this one is just too stinking cute!

Created by MSPeeler. I love the use of white space. I can never get it right, but I love looking at layouts that do it so well!

Created by nowens. I love the clustering. I’m a sucker for great clusters!

Now, I told you there was a new design team joining the designer squad, right? Maybe you’ve heard of these two lovely ladies: Carolyn and Jamie of Adorable Pixels. That’s right! They’re joining the team, and we’re so excited to have them.

They sound like great ladies, and I can’t wait to get them both better.

They have some great kits coming to the store. I can’t wait to play with some of them.

Oh, brr. Fall has really set in here. It’s chilly, and the wind has a definite bite to it. It’s going to make that trip to the RenFest something to remember.

I love RenFests. I love the time period they’re set in, and I just love all the costumes. I also love that it’s set in the woods. That means lots of trees. At ours, they hang mirrors from the trees, and the capture the light in such cool ways. I could spend a few hours just watching the reflections on the ground.

Speaking of fests and fall, have you seen October’s buffet created by the Gingerscraps designers? It’s called Fall Festival, and it would completely work for any sort of festival. I picked out a few layouts that I just adored in the gallery using the buffet items.

Created by Inspired Designs. Yeah, even the designers can’t resist this buffet. I love the pictures. I love babies with just a few little teeth!

Created by JillW. I love the filter/effect on the photo. The clusters are gorgeously done.

Created by MamaCake. I love the clusters and the scatters. Such beautiful work.

Before I get to that, though, we can’t forget the Bake Sale! You still have today to catch some items on sale!

Fresh Baked: New Guest Designer, New Buffet, and More

October 1, 2012 by Sarah

I just cannot believe that September is over. It flew by! I’m excited for October though. Pumpkin patch visits will be happening. Leaves will be piling on the ground, begging to be jumped into!

This month, it’s going to be all about the festivals that happen in the fall. For my family, we look forward to Ren Fest, which we usually go to in September, but this year, we’re going in October.

Do you have a favorite festival that you look forward to going to each year? If you do, then you’ll love the new buffet created by the Gingerscraps designers! It’s called Fall Festival.

Before I get to that, though, we can’t forget the Bake Sale!

https://store.gingerscraps.net/-1.00-BakeSale-Oct-1-5/

Oh, I just can’t take all the goodness, and I haven’t even started.

The colors are perfect for most any layout involving any aspect of fall. The designers went all out and did an amazing job! This month, to show off better what each designer designed, we’re breaking up the big image into several ones. [Read more…]

September 28, 2012 by Sarah

The last Friday of September is upon us. That is something about life that I don’t find so beautiful. Honestly, I don’t like how fast time moves. It just *zoom* There it goes. I’m not a fan of that at all.

The passing of time though does mean the beautifulness that is fall is fast approaching. Leaves around here are already changing colors. I was able to visit my father-in-law’s property over the weekend and capture some of the colors. I need some more practice with my camera, I think. The beauty of life: the ability to learn, and grow.

This is the last set of Life is Beautiful buffet layouts that I’ll be showing off, and you know what? I’m sad about that! There have been some absolutely amazing layouts. It was hard to just pick a few to showcase. I’m honored to be able to do it though. It was a high point of my week.

Created by Juliemomof4, our resident queen of hybrid and Project 365. I love that she showcased how perfectly this buffet works for P365 layouts!

Created by Sarah. Yes, that would be me. I wrote about being able to witness the union of my brother-in-law and his new wife, and well, how could I not scrap it?

This week, Rachel, of Pretty in Green has something special for you! All you have to do to get it is register in the forum and check out the Welcome Wagon sub-forum!!

Remember: when you spend $10, you get this for FREE! This month, Pixels by Jen has created September’s new Grab-bag and it is gorgeous!

This month, we’re starting something new; it’s called the Monthly Mix. Each month, a group of 4-5 designers teamed up making a mix, and a new one will be released every month! This month, it’s Unforgettable Moments, Twin Mom Scraps, Joyful Heart, Find Your Bliss, and Colie’s Corner. They created an adorable kit called Who’s Wise?

It has truly been an eventful week! Things have been a little crazy, but in a good way, most of the time. Thursday, my brother-in-law married the love of his life, and I felt so blessed to be a part of it. It was amazing.

It reminds me of how life is so beautiful in the moments we get to share with those we love. Each moment is precious, and life can be fleeting. Getting to see two separate people become one in a union like that is pretty powerful.

I chose some layouts that remind me of the preciousness of life, using the Life is Beautiful buffet by the amazing designers here at Gingerscraps. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Created by scrapjrlgcp. I love seeing love shared between siblings, especially a newborn.

Created by jenevang. I love that quote!

Created by MamaCake. SO many pictures! I can never make a layout with that many pictures look good!

Remember, if you want your layout spotlighted in the newsletter, you have a chance! Make sure you create it using the current buffet, and upload to the buffet gallery.

When you spend $10, you get this for FREE! This month, Pixels by Jen has created September’s new Grab-bag and it is gorgeous!

Fresh Baked for September 14, 2012

September 14, 2012 by Sarah

It’s really Friday! I love Fridays. It’s either the start of a busy weekend or the start of a lazy one. We never have one or the other here. I like the busy ones, and I cherish the lazy ones.

I was looking through the gallery, trying to find some layouts that I wanted to show off, using Life is Beautiful. It was HARD to not choose a few by the same people. Not because their layouts are better, but because I keep looking at the photos. I’m recalling pictures of when they were born. Each birthday. Those milestones. I haven’t met these adorable kids in person, but I felt connected.

That’s something that makes the internet completely beautiful. You get to “meet” amazing people that you wouldn’t be able to do so otherwise. Choosing just one layout, or three, as I did today, is harder than you would think, simply for that reason. I did it, but it wasn’t easy.

This was created by Atusia. I really love how she used Joyful Heart’s grunge corners in the corner.

Created by Colleen. This little guy always cracks me up. You can tell that he’s a sweetheart!

I just love this layout by trina513. I love the smiles on the boys!

Remember, if you want your layout spotlighted in the newsletter, you have a chance! Make sure you create it using the current buffet, and upload to the buffet gallery.

The birthday party at Gingerscraps is still happening. Several speed scraps today, and continue into the weekend!

Happy Birthday Gingerscraps

September 12, 2012 by Sarah

Do not adjust your calendar. You’re not confused. It truly is Wednesday, not Friday. Today, Gingerscraps turns FOUR! I cannot believe that it’s been four years. Sometimes it feels like forever, and sometimes it just doesn’t feel like it’s been that long.

In the past four years, we’ve seen new designers just starting out, and we’ve seen a few retire. Each year, we add to the Birthday Buffet, and this year is no different! It’s My Birthday has a few new additions!

We still have the previous minis, as well!

As always, the CT had a blast playing with the minis!

Shh!! It’s a surprise. Okay, not really but it’s definitely a sale! That would make the buffet items $1.40 a piece! That’s a gift that keeps on giving!

https://store.gingerscraps.net/B-Day-Bundles

Our designers have also bundled three of their previously released kits for just $5! I have a few in mind that I’m going to be buying, that’s all I have to say!

I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite party games is a good old fashion Cake Walk.
You walk around a circle and if you land on a winning number, you get a delicious cake! Well we have our very own digi Cake Walk!
EVERY purchase (of $5.00 or more) you make, between Sep 12th and Sep 16th, will grant you one walk around our cake walk.
If you land on a lucky number (chosen by a random generator) then you will get some delicious goodies! We have new- never released products (cakes) from some of your favorite GS designers, and TWO very lucky winners will receive a $50 shopping spree in the Site Collabs (gingerbread ladies collabs only) section of the GS shop. Over 30 lucky shoppers will go home with a scrumptious cake! All winners will be emailed their prize on Sep 18th. Don’t worry, we will track all purchases, if you spend $25 then that is good for FIVE entries into the cake walk. The more you spend the better your odds will be. Good luck and start shopping!!

It wouldn’t be a party at Gingerscraps without speed scraps! The CT and the Designers are all working together to give you LOTS of speed scraps to enjoy!

There’s also a Scavenger Hunt going on! Have a look through the store, and look for the Gingerbread man! There might be some hints in the forum, to help you in your search!

Another fun game is happening! What’s in the Designer’s purse? You have to match the designer to her purse! Each of them left some clues in the picture. Some might be a little harder than others, but not impossible, I promise!

New Buffet, Guest Designer, So Much More!

September 1, 2012 by Sarah

Well hi! Didn’t I just see you? Well, write to you, I guess is more accurate!

It’s almost officially fall. Monday, in the States, is Labor Day, the official end of summer. The leaves will be changing from green to browns, and reds, and golds. Or, if you’re on the other side of the globe, from reds, browns, and golds to green again.

Life is beautiful and wonderful like that! There’s something about the changing of the seasons that makes you reflect on the good and happy things in life.

This month, the buffet designed by the Gingerscraps team is perfect for scrapping those moments of reflection. Those moments when you just can’t help but take a picture!

Before I share with you the amazing buffet, it’s September first, which means of course a bake sale!

https://store.gingerscraps.net/-1.00-BakeSale-Sep-1-5/

Now, don’t leave just yet! I know you’re itching to see the sale goodies but I have to show you the buffet, and a few more things first!!

https://store.gingerscraps.net/Life-is-Beautiful/

As you can see, the colors are soft but bold, light and dark, perfectly blended into simple elegance. Find the beauty in the every day and enhance it with this gorgeous buffet.

The CT worked so hard putting together some truly beautiful layouts. I know, I keep saying beautiful, but it really does fit, but it really is!

When we switch months, we switch out the Free With Purchase! This month, Pixels by Jen has created September’s new Grab-bag and it is gorgeous! Remember: when you spend $10, you get this for FREE!!

As we say goodbye to our August Guest Designer, Sugary Fancy, we say hello to September’s Guest Designer, Ocean Wide Designs!

Isn’t she a cutie? We asked her to tell us about herself, and she told us she’d try not to be boring!

I live in Central California with my husband, Jeff, and our furry-babies… Riley, a small terror… I mean, terrier! and our two guinea pigs – Sparkles and Bubbles. Jeff and I love to travel the west coast, we like doing outdoorsy things like hiking, geocaching, kayaking, fishing, camping, etc. I work from home running our small businesses, including the Real Life Scrapped social network! When I have the time I LOVE to read cozy mysteries, bake goodies that go straight to my hips, work off those goodies with Zumba & my treadmill, and do crafty things like crocheting & embroidery.

An animal lover, traveler, adventurer, business owner, and crafter?! That sounds anything but boring! I think she’ll fit right in with the GingerScraps family!

Here are just a few of the designs she’s prepared for her opening. You’ll definitely find something in there that you’ll enjoy!

Oh, I think I see a few that I’m going to definitely enjoy playing with! What about you?

I think I know what you’re looking for right now. You’re expecting the full-preview of that daily download, aren’t you? Well, okay, since you waited patiently.

As you know, Kathy Winters created August’s daily download, which was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous, and SO fun!!

https://store.gingerscraps.net/Happiness-In-Your-Smile.html

Now, this month’s was created by Twin Mom Scraps! It follows the happy theme that both August’s Daily Download and the buffet has. It’s so sweet! I completely love it!!

https://gingerscraps.net/gsblog/2012/09/daily-download-sept-01/

Tell me, doesn’t that just look just perfect for scrapbooking?

Before I say adios and go enjoy some Saturday morning cuddles with my family, I want to let you know that the challenges for August might be over, but September starts them all over again! So, make sure you check out the forum and put those new kits to work!!

See ya again on Friday!!
